Coventry’s public schools outscore 70% of Connecticut districts

56% of students in Coventry’s public schools are proficient in math, above the Connecticut average (40%). The grade covers the public school district serving Coventry, from kindergarten through graduation, on state tests and graduation. Each state writes its own tests, so this is the one TownRatings grade compared within Connecticut, not nationally.
